Elmo Street Live

When a simple, yet fun, children’s toy takes the world by storm, people take notice. When a different variation of the same children’s toy takes the world by storm again, it’s truly a phenomenon. That’s exactly what has happened over the past few years with Fisher-Price’s line of plush toys featuring Sesame Street’s lovable little character, Elmo Live.

It was only a few years ago that Fisher-Price first took the world by storm with the adorable Tickle-Me Elmo dolls. Stores sold out in minutes each time they got a shipment and frantic parents did whatever it took to get a Tickle-Me Elmo for their child, sometimes even staying at a store all night to be the first one in line for the latest shipment.

Fast forward to 2008 and Elmo is again taking the toy world by storm with Elmo Live by Fisher-Price. Elmo Live is an incredibly lifelike version of Elmo that can interact with your children just like Elmo interacts with his Sesame Street friends on television. With just a tickle or squeeze of his back, foot, tummy or nose, Elmo Street Live springs to life to play with your children.

(And right now Amazon has a limit of 2 per household.)

Elmo Street Live Tips

Elmo Live makes lots of fun movements and gestures -- the only slight drawback is that his movements generate a somewhat loud, mechanical sound that sometimes interferes with being able to understand what Elmo is saying. He also has to be on a hard, flat surface -- otherwise he has a tendency to fall over. This in itself has a fun effect, however. When he falls over, Elmo St Live asks you to help him back up again, and when he's put back upright, he'll say "thank you." Also, since his nose has to be squeezed with a bit of force to activate him, our two-year-old tester sometimes needed assistance with it.
